Why not just reference a function with ng-file-select

[litera]

It seems that one has to always provide a call to $scope function which includes some injectable parameters apparently ($files) because if you rename those parameters they aren't recognised.

Example HTML code from Demo:

<input type="file" ng-file-select="onFileSelect($files)" onclick="this.value=null">

I would rather see it as

<input type="file" ng-file-select="onFileSelect" onclick="this.value=null">

So no parameters and just function reference rather than a call.

1. Is there any particular reason why it's implemented the way it is?
2. Could implementation be changed according to this issue?
3. What is $files injectable and where is it defined? Shouldn't it be documented?

Hi, sorry to join the thread but I've got the same curiosity :)
Where does $files parameter come from ?
Thanks in advance.

I found it

$timeout(function() {
                fn(scope, {
                    $files : files,
                    $event : evt
                });
            });

but imo it's quite useless you have got all the files
with

fileList = evt.__files_ || evt.target.files;

but may be I'm missing something.
